AC doesn't blow cold.

2005 Honda Odyssey EX

The high and low side stay at the exact same pressure, no matter engine off or on, AC off or on. I evacuated the system, however it could not pull a vacuum bow "0" on the gauge set.
I started to recharge the system, and both the high and low sides took a charge up to 60 psi, and wouldn't take anything more than that.

I'm baffled because, how can it not take a vacuum below 0 degrees mercury, but it CAN hold a charge without leaking?

I checked to be sure the clutch relay was indeed engaging. Then I verified 12V available on the load side of the relay. However, when I shorted the load contacts, there was no current flow, and the clutch did not engage.

Sounds like you do not have your gauges set up correctly.

I doublecheck what you said made sure that I had the gauges set up properly.

Same thing.

Any other ideas?

Hold a charge but can't pull a vacuum. And the AC clutch does not engage at any time.

Follow what is done on this video. If you still show 0 then you need to test that your gauges aren't faulty.

YEP the gauge set was missing two seals.
